I've been in touch with the coordinator, she will be sending them out ideally end of day today, if not over the weekend They were having some troubles with PI scheduling, and also have 38 or so people attending the January interview weekend, so it took a bit longer than they expected.

Has anyone received a rejection from Rockefeller/know if they're done sending interview invites? From previous years, it looks like interviews came out all at once around this time of year, and then the next day rejections came out. But I haven't seen any rejections on the results page and only 4 interviews? I'm holding out on scheduling another interview until I know about Rockefeller!

Man, that's rough. I'm sorry you're dealing with that! Super stressful. My naive feeling is that you might as well? Then they would have it on file in case they were feeling generous enough to go back and look at it, or were revisiting documents to decide between a few candidates post-interview. Since this is a letter related to your MSc, I imagine this is one of your most important letters? No harm in having it on file just in case?

Congrats you guys! Were you given a choice between the two weekends, or were you assigned one?

Has anyone heard from Rockefeller?

I hear you! It sounds like some programs still offer in-person, so fingers crossed for you to get a few of those So far I have interviews with MIT BCS, Harvard BBS, Columbia, Dartmouth PEMM, Tufts Neuro.

Keep the hope! I had given up, so it came as a major surprise They called me, so it would make sense that it takes time to work through all of the applicants that they're inviting. At the beginning of the cycle, I was going to apply to PiN, but I'm an international applicant and my understanding from previous applicants was that PiN takes fewer internationals than BBS. BBS has sooo many labs under their umbrella, including many neuro labs that I was keen on, so I knew I'd be a a happy BBS student! I'm an international, but I'm currently in the US doing research so my case might be different than yours. It might be that domestic/locally-residing applicants are contacted at a different time since, as you said, the interviewing process is different

MIT BCS interview by phone this morning!

MIT BCS interview by phone this morning!

I heard from Tufts Sackler Neuro on the Monday before Christmas. I reached out to BU GPN and they said they won't be meeting/reviewing applications until January

Has anyone heard from Yale BBS Neuro? I noticed a bunch of other BBS track interviews in other threads, but not neuro?

Definitely would also love to know!

Hey! Congrats on hearing back from so many awesome programs which Yale BBS program did you apply to? For Columbia, did you apply to the integrated program in cell/molecular? I heard back from them Friday for interview.

I'm an international residing in the U.S, and so far I've had domestic travel/accommodations covered. Some programs also extend that coverage to Canadians, in case you're there

Mine just said "The Admissions Committee of the Integrated Program in Cellular Molecular and Biomedical Studies.. "

Just received Harvard BBS interview!!!!

I selected the umbrella program/no specialization

Just received an interview for Columbia's Integrated Program in Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Studies!!!

Your location says New Haven, so maybe that was the tip-off

It looks like each track has its own timeline for reviewing, interviewing and making decisions (according to their website)

Damn! So much patience required!

Apparently Rockefeller won't be sending invites until January Did you apply to Yale BBS-Neuro track? When do they normally send out interviews? I'm eagerly waiting on this one as well!

Neuro here

Email from BU GPN office saying that the committee will meet in January

Awesome, thank you for the info
